I lived in Defiance Ohio, that is where the factory was where they built these. I was told by a tuner at a roadside, they put 500 miles on each car to break in and fine tune before they were sold. These cars were seen all over town and surrounding county roads all the time, Driven by the tuners tweeking them in.
I have to agree that the cost to replace exceeds the value of this car....However, the factory that built these cars was not located in Defiance Ohio, but Italy by De Tomaso, shipped to the US as completed cars and sold by select Lincoln Mercury dealers..................
